It is sometimes suggested that people who need therapy are weak. Actually, people who care enough about their mental health to seek counseling are strong and courageous! It’s hard to take that initial step when you’re struggling, but we all need help sometimes. When you engage in therapy, you will be encouraged to explore patterns, emotions and behaviors you would like to address. Together, we can develop a manageable, achievable plan to utilize your strengths and affect positive change in your life and your relationships. I believe that we all have within us everything we need in order to be happy. Our wounds from childhood or other trauma can make us feel stuck. We can work together to revisit and reframe traumatic memories, and gain power over those things that are barriers to joy.
I have been in practice since 2009, working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, addiction, and relationship issues. I am an approved provider of EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) and Clinical Hypnosis which, together with talk therapy, enhance the effectiveness of your overall treatment. I received my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida.
Having been in recovery from alcoholism since 2005, I can attest to the freedom and distinct joy that comes from conquering your addiction. I understand the compulsion to use substances, despite sometimes catastrophic consequences, in an attempt to self-medicate emotional issues. I have worked with countless clients who suffer from addiction, and have helped them gain awareness and assert power over the disease.
The greatest journey begins with a single step, and seeking professional guidance is a great first
step to take. I can help you find the courage that was within you all along, to explore the
emotional barriers keeping you stuck in your life. Make your emotional health a priority today
rather than “someday”. YOUR LIFE IS NOW!
